    Hi Iv used ATM Valeting in grange douglas now a few times and always does a top notch job. 50 for a mini valet but can pay more for a serious cleaning where they take seats out and all. Aiden is the man there I think number is 0214898216. Highly recommended imo.

    Jaysus, depending on the definition of a Mini Valet €50 is very dear.

    Mini Valets in Limerick range for €25-€35.

    Hi Mini Valet is wet vac the carpets dresses all the interior mats etc and glass washes the outside and dresses the wheels. You get what you pay for imo and those valets in shopping centres are a waste of time compared to job ATM does might be bit more expensive but worth it I think to do a good job couple of times a year.

    A mini valet for €25 euro here consists of; the car getting an extensive wash, including the door sills. The car incl. the boot would be completely hoovered, the mats would be washed, the dash and door cards would be wiped down and dressed.

    For €5 extra the windows would be cleaned inside and out.

    I can't see that being worth €50.

    A full Valet in Limerick can be got for €80, and thats the seats being shampoo'd, and a de tar and polish.

    I know the place that Limerick Man is talking about and they have new, properly set up valet facilities with all the gear. They are definately not two guys working out of a shopping centre car park with a power hose and vacum cleaner. €25 is good value there imo.

    There're actually 3 or 4 places acroos Limerick that have matched the €25. Not that I'd pay someone to clean my car though, lol.

    That sounds like good value so in comparison I guess but he does all you said for the mini valet bar tar removal and shampoo seats although I never asked for that. Only problem is OP is looking for place in Cork but at least gives him a price guide anyway! I usually clean the car myself too but get it done once or twice a year.

    IMO shampooing the seats and de taring the car are two major (time consuming) steps in a valet.

    Plus I'd never polish a car without de tarring it first!

    Although when it comes to, depending on the car you could get charged any where from €80-€130 for a Full valet.

    Never heard of them! They seem to offer a nice one stop shop! It's all about having a reputation these days! Although I don't know if I'd trust them on the wheel refurbishment front unless I'd seen a few reviews!

    As far as I know they look after a lot of top garages stock in Cork..
    Turners Cross Motors for instance.

    This car was covered in tar, dont think it has ever been detared in its life time and the inside was all make up stains, so they did a fantastic job. Wet vac was used etc.

    Contact Johnathon: (085) 7689629 nice guy to deal with.

    Jaysus €60 is for nothing in fairness! Nice job too by the looks of it!
